You guys, how come we don't have a black and white law that says we can just suspend him from office for shit like this? It is literally everything everyone has feared from the beginning of the United States and we are watching it happen and no one is doing anything.

A lot of people comment that I look like I stepped out of the #Handmaid'sTale in this picture. So many women and children in the USA are already subjected to complete patriarchal control. As a young Amish woman I had zero rights. Sign the Child Rights Act Petition! change.org/ChildRightsAct

The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%. We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this. The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".
